Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science (AMSS) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) Joint Laboratory of Applied Mathematics is one of 22 CAS joint laboratories with Hong Kong universities, which were approved by CAS in October 2018. The CAS AMSS-PolyU Laboratory has five research groups with members from AMSS and PolyU, and will capitalize on their specialties to extend the frontiers of research in Applied mathematics.
Grade A Joint Laboratory
In the sixth RGC-CAS evaluation exercise of joint laboratories, The CAS AMSS-PolyU Joint Laboratory of Applied Mathematics has been distinguished with a Grade "A" rating.
The evaluation was conducted by the Research Grants Council (RGC) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), assessing 30 joint laboratories formed between six UGC-funded universities in Hong Kong and CAS. Out of these, 22 joint laboratories have successfully met the accreditation criteria, with 4 achieving Grade "A", 7 receiving Grade "B", and 11 being recognized with Grade "P" (Passed).
The RGC and CAS have committed to providing five-year funding support to the laboratories awarded Grade "A" and Grade "B", as well as to the top 3 newly accredited laboratories. This initiative aims to motivate participation in the assessment and to enhance collaboration between the two entities. Specially, each Grade "A" awarded joint laboratory will receive up to RMB 6 million plus HK$3.75 million in funding.
